One think that idgaf about paying for is Spotify or any music streaming service. We use a family plan anyway but even full price isn't great value for money.

I don't mind having ads while listening to plain radio. But on Spotify there were more ads than songs lately, so they forced me to buy a subscription. They did not reinvent the radio, they made it worse.

I know, lots of services are currently going to shit, but quite the timing with Bandcamp imploding, too...

So Spotify couldnt become profitable just by hawking my personal info and invading my privacy? What kinda shit company are they?
At least the radio has someone that talks and occasionally interacts with the audience
Spotify has an AI DJ that I actually quite enjoy. It says your name, asks how's it going and does it a pretty good job of mixing up music I like. It thinks I like country music every once in a while though. I have a couple of songs, but can't stand new country music.

Oh did they remove the 5 skips per day maximum?
Neat!
I pay for Spotify but my dad has the free version. They don't even have the ability to queue specific songs. Oof.
